In Their Own Words

"I believe as Holy Church believeth, preacheth, and teacheth."
"The common teaching of Holy Church, in which I was afore informed and grounded, and with all my will having in use and understanding."
"The Faith of Holy Church, the which I had aforehand understood and, as I hope, by the grace of God earnestly kept in use and custom, stood continually in my sight: willing and meaning never to receive anything that might be contrary thereunto."
